Brown Rice Syrup

Brown rice syrup has been on my "to try" list for some time. I have seem it used in many vegan recipes and I love trying out new natural sweeteners. I haven't been able to find some at any health food stores so when Tropical Traditions asked if I would like to review it, I happily said yes!

Brown rice syrup is a natural sweetener it is made by steeping whole brown rice with an enzyme. It is great for cooking and baking. It is also gluten free and easily digestible.

For my first experience tasting brown rice syrup, I was surprised by how thick it is. It is thicker than honey and has a mild sweet taste. I enjoyed it in a cup of tea but I've heard that it is great for baking and is almost caramel like. I have big plans for this bottle!

I've been really curious to try this. I usually use agave or honey because I buy them in bulk from Costco, but brown rice syrup is a lot cheaper than agave at my Whole Foods! I would like to put it in granola bars- I have a recipe that calls for it.
